Yes, if that what it's called. But if not, i want to know what this function is called because sometimes when i have bots developed it would have that function, but i would rather have the action run inside the app instead of from the browser. That's why i want to know what it's called, so i can tell the developers not to make it like that.

The bots were private i had someone develop them for me. One was Vb.net and the other was Java. Both of them ran actions from the broswer instead of from the app.

Just tell them you want the bot or app to run in a hidden browser. The browser will still run but you just won't see it.

Some software, such as Ubot, will run in its own browser window (either in the display, hidden or sockets). If you look at something like iMacros, that doesn't have a built in browser so will use Firefox.

Like others have said, it will depend on what software is being used.

Yeah, but i noticed few bots (ThmblingJaz for example) login to multiple accounts simultaneously and run actions from those account. Are these programs using 1 browser for this?
I don't think they are because i can't manually login to multiple account simultaneously using 1 broswer.

Hes talking about a bot like pinblaster or xtumblebot (just for examples) you input the information or whatever then press start and you dont see anything moving or whatever BUT the bot is doing its magic.

I dont know how bots are coded like this but just clearing it up so maybe someone else can give you more information

Bots that have control over a webbrowser (the bots in the videos)
Those bots are slower because they have to render the webpage
But therefore the developer can directly work with the page (execute javascript and inspect the DOM)
That makes creating and maintaining these kind of bots easier
The developer can also hide the "webbrowser window" from the user
Those bots are cheaper, because they can be created faster

And there are bots that work directly with webrequests
Those bots are faster because they just send the requests (http header + body)
But the developer has to manually figure out what the javascript does and replicate the behaviour of the site
That makes creating and maintaining those bots harder
If you want to scale your campaings (with multiple accounts/proxies/...) you will need this kind of bots
But those bots are also more expensive

iMacros Enterprise Edition does have a internetl browser.

-----------------------------------

Its does not matter if a software uses its own window to host IE or use it just as an IE instance, its the same, it can run it hidden or not.

Im not agree. (And i develop some bot builder tool).
In first place in the bots that uses some instace of the browser there are some thing called headless browser, this means a browser that does not show up but render the page.
Could take more time but its more precise, much more effective.
The other browsers just download the HTML code but dont render it (and dont run jquery, javascript, glash, etc) so are very limited and fails much more often since it can do not detect many things.
Its very important today to render the page and to run all the additional scripts, plugins, etc. that a browser can run, because most web 20.0 pages and social ones uses a lot, you are going to fail a lot if you do not render the page and are capable of render flash, jquery, etc.

The idea of a bot is to replicate some task that people can do in a browser, but extracting information from some text fie, per exmaple, for filling the info needed and also can store the results (images, data, etc). Per example a bot that creates accounts.
If the page uses jquery, in general, the only way to being sucessfully, is rendering the page and running javascript, flash, etc.
